Houston (AFP) - In Beyonce's hometown of Houston fans turned out in full force at a roller rink listening party celebrating the megastar's new country album. The scene Friday night was a jubilant display of support for the 42-year-old Texan, who faced some bigoted criticism when she announced her new project "Cowboy Carter," which was released in full on Friday. Despite the long lineage of Black artists in country music, overwhelmingly white and male gatekeepers of the genre have long vied to rigidly dictate its boundaries. But they were no match for Beyonce, who pressed on and dropped a 27-tr...

New York (AFP) - Fans and critics alike are lavishing praise on "Cowboy Carter," Beyonce's rhinestone-studded, history-rich honky tonk of an album that's rising in the charts after Friday's hotly anticipated release. A rowdy, wide-ranging homage to her southern heritage, the 27-track second act to her "Renaissance" trilogy is a genre-bending triumph that vaunts Black country culture. "No one will mistake this sprawling set for ever following a straight path, or having a remotely dull moment," wrote the critic at entertainment trade publication Variety. "It's almost as if Beyonce was watching ...

New York (AFP) - Beyonce's "Cowboy Carter" is a full-throated ode to her southern roots, a rollicking revue of an album that also deals a vital history lesson on the Black lineage of country music. The 27-track, highly anticipated record out Friday is the second act of her "Renaissance" trilogy, a sonically diverse jamboree flavored with strings and pedal steel guitar. Beyonce has been a versatile showbiz fixture for nearly three decades, but for all the caps she's worn, the Houston-bred megastar's cowboy hat has stayed within reach: Queen Bey has always been country. But even the powerful art...

"Cowboy Carter" -- the honkified second act of Queen Bey's "Renaissance" trilogy -- was already out in parts of the world where the calendar had flipped to Friday, and will continue its global drop as the clock strikes midnight in each time zone. The 42-year-old megastar also covers Paul McCartney's "White Album" classic "Blackbiird," which she stylizes with a double-i spelling. McCartney wrote the 1968 song about...

New York (AFP) - Beyonce has been a showbiz fixture for nearly three decades, shapeshifting from girl group lead and pop empress to Hollywood actor and business mogul. But for all the caps she's worn, the Houston-bred megastar's cowboy hat has stayed within reach: Queen Bey has always been country. Now she's firmly entering her yeehaw era: "Cowboy Carter," the second act of her "Renaissance" project, is set to drop Friday at midnight (0400 GMT). From the vocal harmonies of Destiny's Child to the outlaw twang of 2016's "Daddy Lessons," Beyonce has long paid homage to her southern heritage, inco...
